PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM CARE

Watch Dr. Heather treat a pregnant mama HERE

Dr. Heather Hunt, DC has pursued specialized post-graduate training in chiropractic and craniosacral therapy for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. She is certified in the Webster Technique and, as a mother of three, is personally familiar with the unique demands of pregnancy and childbirth

For pregnant mothers, Dr. Hunt combines gentle chiropractic adjustments, muscle massage, and craniosacral therapy with home exercises and lifestyle recommendations to support their well-being. When working with infants, she primarily uses craniosacral therapy, recognizing that the birthing process can be physically challenging for a baby as well as being in utero that last trimester. She believes that early treatment can help eliminate restrictions that might otherwise impact a child's development throughout life.

Dr. Hunt highly recommends craniosacral therapy for babies who cannot latch well to nurse/take a bottle, have colic, gastro-intestinal problems, head flattening, or always lay their heads to one side, constipation, sleep issues, hyper-sensitivity, arching back behavior, or just seem uncomfortable in their body.

Her gentle, evidence-based approach supports newborns in their earliest stages of development, promoting long-term vitality.

“Dr Heather Hunt is a brilliant doctor of chiropractic. We are SO fortunate to have her in our community, and surrounding areas. Her specialty is maternity and pediatrics. As a very recently retired midwife, I referred to her often. She generally found what the underlying problem was, where other modalities hadn't worked. Lucky us!” , Alison Osborn, midwife
